Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 7). Glucose dialysis retardation index = control (100%) − fibre (% of control value). Mean values marked with an asterisk (*) were significantly different from those of respective control groups (P < 0.05) (derived from repeated measures ANOVA and adjusted using Bonferroni correction).
